Dooly's Hotel, hotel in Birr

Dating back to 1747, this historic coaching inn features an on-site coffee shop selling fresh pastries, home-cooked food, and afternoon tea.

I cannot compliment the staff enough during my stay. The housekeeping staff are phenomenal and the charming gentleman at breakfast was so welcoming. The breakfast was delicious, I ordered the veggie with coffee... Faultless. The bed was extremely comfy and the short time I was there (I was at a wedding) I had no enjoyable sleep.

Kinnitty Castle Hotel, hotel in Birr

Dating back to 1209, this impressive Gothic castle is set within a stunning 650 acres of parkland and forests.

Kinnitty castle was incredibly impressive when you approached. The grounds were beautiful with older buildings, a river, horses and deer just relaxing. The castle interior looked amazing and the staff were helpful and friendly. We ate breakfast and dinner both days and the food was delicious and plentiful.

Shannon Breeze Cottage, hotel in Birr

Shannon Breeze Cottage is located in Ballycrossaun, 21 mi from Athlone. Tullamore is 30 mi away. Free private parking is available on site. All units have a seating area.

Had a really lovely time staying in this little gem. It was a home from home. Only a short drive from several counties including Galway, Clare, Offaly and Tipperary. Service on the phone isn't great and no wifi as stated but that didn't bother us. Just get out and enjoy yourself, plenty of places to go and things to do. We went everywhere. Lena is such a lovely host and very informative of things to do around the area and also some local history. Really lovely lady. Thanks for everything Lena especially the lovely eggs you gave us. Hope you enjoyed the onions. Take care Sarahjane, Paul, Dylan and Emily

    Birr is a lovely town - we visited family and friends and spent some time exploring the town. We visited Birr Castle and gardens, which are spectacular. We were however disappointed that we could not visit the castle itself as it is a private residence. The town is very tidy and people are friendly.

    We visited the castle grounds which were excellent and much better than we expected. Town centre has everything and reasonable cafes. Lots of pubs but then it was Ireland! Restaurants a little harder to find. Walks and good quiet cycling on your doorstep or a short drive.

    Visit the castle. You could around the grounds for hours. Lovely science museum in the castle. Lots of shops. Park and walk around it’s busy for driving. Pay your parking ticket wardens around all the time. Didn’t have time to investigate it further. We had all our food a Dooley’s it was fabulous.

    Birr is a beautiful town. It's steeped in history. The period houses all around are stunning. Castle tour is highly recommended. Lot's to see and do there. Nolan's pub was very welcoming and a great pint to be had. Kelly's bar is great for food and old fashioned Irish atmosphere and pint of Guinness.

    Birr Castle was an enjoyable venue for a day visit.

    Birr Castle was an enjoyable venue for a day visit. We had dinner in a local bar/restaurant where the food was good and the staff were friendly. Birr is quite a small town and it can be visited over a two day period. It is also relatively close to the Slieve Blooms which is a good base for walking.

    Birr is a nice small town with a lovely small park and river walk and a fabulous castle and grounds. Kinnity castle is a short drive away and the Slieve Bloom walking trails are worth a visit if you like hiking .

    This B&B is in a great location in Birr center. It is a beautiful old town house, and has a very homely feel to it. We were welcomed by a lovely, friendly lady called Maureen. She very kindly drove us to the hotel where we were meeting friends. The beds were very comfortable, and the room was warm and clean. We didn,t have a cooked breakfast, but there was lovely fresh fruit and homemade muffins, cereal and yoghurts. I would return to this B&B and would recommend it.

    Our stay at Townsend House was wonderful! The room was beautiful- we stayed in the family suite which was spacious and very comfortable. The location was just perfect for exploring the small village of Birr- walking distance to the castle and town center. The staff were welcoming and the breakfast was delicious (and huge!). We were so happy with this stay and would definitely recommend it.

    Great location. Beautiful Georgian guest house around the corner from a heritage Georgian Mall leading to Birr Castle and 5 minutes walk from the town centre. Fabulous gardens. All staff and owners Lorraine and Martin extremely friendly. For people who prefer the guest house experience this is ticks all the boxes

    Having lived in Birr I had regularly passed Spinners and been curious about what it would be like to stay there. Happy to report it's a lovely hotel quite unique in its layout/design with quaint and very comfortable rooms. The breakfast served was plentiful and delicious and the staff lovely too.

    very quaint, beautiful hotel, very close to being a B&B. The owners are very hardworking, nice, helpful and accommodating— which included insisting on taking our luggage up the stairs to our room. The Irish breakfast was delicious!

    Location in town and the staff are second to none. The town is underrated as a destination as there are many golf courses nearby and a visit to the castle is a must when in town,
